Yes, it is that one time of year that big box stores, card companies, florists and chocolatiers insist you must profess your love and show ungodly amounts of store-bought items to prove your devotion!
A card that will sit out for a week, til the moment fades and it gets tossed in a drawer to get lost with the other cards that who knows who sent in previous years or collection of the same ole routine... because the person has no ambition to change out of the stereotype that is expected from him/her.
Through the years, valentine's dances, fancy dresses and shoes, oodles of cards, bouquets of flowers, perfume, chocolate, upscale dinners and even my first engagement ring came in a fish tank treasure box.
Sadly the promise was broken and destroyed, as the ring was ... having to be cut off of my finger because I had fallen and broken my hand.
